and did not inform him that an
amendment was necessary.
An examination and study of
the constitutional provisions per
taining to schools will satisfy any
lawyer that there is nothing
therein which would prevent the
enactment of a law such as has
been proposed. The whole spirit
and policy of the Constitution and
statutes is favorable to the idea
of counties having systems of
their own which will increase the
efficiency of the schools.
Nothing to Prevent
In section. 1525 of the Code
this policy is expressly enacted

nothing in the general school
laws shall be construed to prevent
“any city with a population of
more than two thousand inhabi
tants, or any county or town un
der authority of the General As
sembly of this state, from organ
izing a public-school system inde
pendent of this (the state system)
^system, or to prevent the said or
ganization from drawing its pro
rata share of all educational funds
raised by the state.
Sections 1525 (a) to 1525 (w)
inclusive, contain a statute which
was enacted by the General As
sembly to provide a hoard of ed
ucation for certain counties in
which there were incorporated cit
ies -or towns having a separate
system of schools and meets a
situation which in all material
particulars was the same as ours.

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
I This law does not apply to our
county and city. because there
were certain stipulations enacted
therein relating to population
which do not correspond to the
facts in this county.
This law is of general applica
tion for all counties and cities
where the population and other
conditions as set out in the lavl
exist.
General Law
The only constitutional inhibi
tion controlling in our case is the
provisiont hat no local law shall
be passed where there is a general
law concerning the same subject
matter. And the simple and con
clusive answer to this objection is
that there is no intention of pass
ing a local law but a general law
applicable to this county which
shall go into effect only after it
has been adopted by a majority of
the voters in an election specially
called for the purpose.
Summing up then, there is noth
ing to prevert the passage and
adoption of such a law as has
been proposed; there is a general
spirit and policy of the Constitu
tion favorable to such laws; there
is a special statute, section 1525
of the Code, which expressly de
clares this to be the policy of the
law; and finally, there is another
law, sections 1525 (a) to 15241
j(w), which actually provides for’
certain counties just such a sys
tem as we seek to provide for
this county.
It can be done and it has been
done and, to use a famous motto
of one of the army divisions du
ring the World War, “It shall be
done. »>
Vital Importance
Let me repeat and emphasize
the statement I made in the begin
ning that this is a question of- vit
al importance in our community,
it is one that ought to be consider
ed calmly and thoughtfully and in
a spirit of service by the consti
tuted authorities of our schools
who are ladies and gentlemen of
the highest character and ability
and who are devoted to the inter
ests of the schools and the com
munity and the attitude of citi
zens generally should be one of
sympathy and co-operation with
them.
This is my attitude and will
continue to be.
No Controversy
And may I suggest as a friend
and ardent supporter of this
measure that we should, all of us
citizens, refrain from any agita
tion or controversy on this prop
osition until the boards of educa
tion have had time, and oportuni
